If you are a McIntosh fan, you’ll also love Macoun. One of Mac’s many heirs, Macoun is a great, late-season fresh eating apple. Or, throw this in pies as Macoun doesn’t break down in the oven. Macoun is one of the best tasting apples out there. One of Luke’s and Rod McIver’s favorites. One issue, though, is that Macoun seems to be much less winter hardy than McIntosh and should really only be grown in zone 5. Pair with any of our other apples for pollination.

Macoun’s available are 5-7 ft. tall bare root trees that are grafted onto M26 smaller semi-dwarf rootstock.
